Really?????
By catryan | May 8, 2008
We had an emergency situation at school today with a student and needed to contact a parent. His mother’s cell phone was turned off and went immediately to voicemail. His father was on a business trip in Kentucky and doesn’t own a cell phone (which is hardly believable, but that’s not the “really” part). The student says his mother probably has her phone off because she’s in class today at the local community college. So the counselor calls the security office of the school and explains that we have an emergency with a student’s child and need to reach her. The security officer replied, “We can’t get that information. We have no way of knowing what class she’s in.”
Really?????
So if we called back and said “Lisa Smith is a student there and she said she was going to bomb her class this afternoon” you’d have no way of knowing which class she was sitting in with a bomb???????????

Wow. I guess it would have been too much work to go to the computer and do a search on that student?
Also…if she was the only parent in town, why didn’t she at least leave her phone on vibrate in case there was an emergency with her kid?
Frustrating for you, I’m sure.

Wow, an incredible story. In todays world (with all that terrorism) you would expect an other reaction from the police entirely.
